Notes:
Conclusions 1) No matter the edge of a conical cap is rigidly clamped or simply supported, the critical loads increase monotonically with an increase in λ. 2) The weakening of the edge moment certainly lowers the resistance of conical cap to buckling. 3) The buckled conical cap with its edge rigidly clamped can automatically return to the original state if the load is completely removed. However, some buckled conical caps with their edge simply supported cannot return to the unbuckled initial state but maintain a certain prestressed state even if the load is completely removed. 4) The boundary layer in a conical cap develops not only with an increase in load but also with an increase in geometry parameter λ (i.e.,with an increase in the thickness of the cap). 5) For the conical cap of larger geometry parameter λ, it is possible for asymmetric waves to first occur near the outer edge before the axisymmetric buckling occurs. 6) Fig.2 can serve as design information.
